Pride & Prejudice Movie 1

The first scene of the movie describes what the story is about. Five sisters spying on the new guy on the newighborhood. They begin talking about him eventhough they do not know him. The five girls seem inocent of spying, this still foreshadows the story.

Troughtout this book there are many scenes of prejudice for example at the ball. Mr. Darcy liked Elizabeth and instead of talking to her he would listen to what she would say " he looked at her only to criticize". Can you see? Even Mr. Darcy has prejudice. When he met her at the ball he was criticizing her without even knowing her. The prejudice is something that is in everyone in this book. By the end of the story these two character realize that they actually liked each other.

Prejudice can lead you to many things. It can separate you from a friendship. Sometimes people have prejucide because they feel jelousy towards that person. Even I judge people when I don`t know them and sometimes it is because they have somthing I want. It could be a pice of cloting or just because they are pretty.

Pride & Prejudice 13- 16

The interest is something that attracts people a lot. Besides, people do things they do not want to for interest, money or a pay-back. Mr. Collins a character from Pride & Prejudice is an interested character from the Bennet family "Mr. collins was not a sensible man, and the deficiency of nature had been little assisted by educating..." (Austen 52). The Bennets dislike him, he is there just to see if he can marry one of the five daughters and keep the inheritence of Mr. Bennet. When people do things for interest it seems that they do not care of how they do it  " Mr. Collins had only to change from Jane to Elizabeth " (Austen 53). This quote shows how Collins changed of lady in such a short period of time. To mary someone you need to be inlove. Collins is not inlove, he is after the money and this quote showed how much he does not care that he would marry any of the sisters. Today people get married for money, the don`t care who, they only go after the money.

Simultaneously Mrs. Bennet is happy for one of her daughter getting married to Collins eventhough she dislikes him "Mrs. Bennet treasured up the hint, and trusted that she might soon have two daughters married..." (Austen 53). The only interest that she has with her daughters is getting them married and showing the society how a correct family she has. In some cultures daughters have their wedding arranged by their parents and they cannot do anything about it, their voice is not heard.

Pride & Prejudice 9-12

Pride, something that classify`s others. I had pride when I fell off my horse and stood up and rode him again. I also have pride when I argue with someone, I do  not ask for forgiveness unless it is something grave. Elizabeth is the second daughter and she is inteligent, logical and has a lot of pride.

When she whent to visit Jane at Netherfield she got in an arguement with Mr. Darcy "he merley answered her question, and read on" (Austen 41). Darcy seems to have a lot of pride and Austen portrays hims as someone with a pride and he is too cool for school, he likes to be begged. Yet in the arguement both of them have pride and the environment they live in has created their personality " vanity is a weekness indeed. But pride-where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation" (Austen 43).

Inglorious Basterds, a movie that I loved showed the pride that Germans had when they were going to get killed. Leutetent Aldo Raine (Pitt) is an american soldier that hates the Nazis and when he captures some germans he tries to manipulate them but they have a lot of pride that they won`t tell him a word eventhough they have consecuences.

Pride & Prejudice 5-8

Jane started falling in love with Mr. Bingley. Somehting different that I noticed that differed her from her mother was the humbleness she had towards it. She did not feel superior than her other sisters for dancing two times with Bingley at the ball. Humbleness is something that not everyone has and is something hard to have. Usually people want to be the best and show what they have to impress others. In my school that usually happens; people think that the more they show the better they are. The more expensive the clothes they wear the cooler they are. Eventhough it is my school and I love my school that anoys me a little because eventhough money does cover a lot of things in life, it does not cover everything. Therefore, in this book I like Jane a lot, She is not complicated.

However Mrs. Bennets vanity for her and her daughters increases. She send Jane to Netherfield so she could tell everybody that her daughter is soon going to get engaged to Bingley and that a male in the Bennets takes the bussines in case of Mr. Bennets death. The longer she stays there the better :" Jane should therefore, make the most of every half hour in which she can command his attention. When she is secure of him, there will be leisure for falling in love..." (Austen 15). Parental peer preasure might be very disturbing for every child. In this situation Jane has peer preasure from her mother to stay longer at the Bentley`s. Still she likes Mr. Bentley so it might not be so rough. Of course my parents want the best for me but, somethimes they put peer preasure on me when we look at Universities I want to go  and like, the preasure me and it is annoying.

Pride & Prejudice 1-4

Pride and prejidice is what this book talks about "a single man in possession of a good fortune" (Austen 1). Society has many unequalities and the main one is the money. Money is very important for the majority of the people. Money is what gives them food, clothes, shelter and a social status. Vain people care a lot of their social status as we can see in this lecture how Mrs. Bennet judges with out even knowing. She reminds me of The Great Gatsby. Gatsby a man who had nothing inside but only cared on what was on the outside. What I think that happened to him was that he preasured himself to be the best and then, society continued preasuring him.

Every father wants the best for its child. Mrs. Bennet probably wants the best gentelmen for her five daughters but, she is so focused on superficiality that she rushes. "They attacked him in various ways -with barefaced questions, ingenious suppositions, and distant surmises" (Austen 5), That family is such a gossip that by the "attacking questions" Austen shows the reader the jelousy that the Bennet`s have towards others.

Who is Fortainbras? & Act 5

A tragedy, what is a tragedy?
A tragedy is when a story or a play ends with deaths. Hamlet is a tragedy, Getrude Ophelia, Claudius and Hamlet die in the end. What makes a story tragic is not that people die at the begining of the story but at the very end. Hamlet was poisoned and before de died he gave an advice to young Fortainbras the next King of Denmark "On Fortainbras; he has my dying voice. / So tell him, with th`ocurrents, more and less, / Which have solicitated -the rest is silence." ( V.II.393-395) He also wishes his story to be told and dies. Why would Hamlet want his story to be told? Was Shakespear foreshadowing something that could happen to Fortainbras?

Fortainbras, prince of Norway. Hamlet King killed Fortainbras King and took the land but, young Fortainbras wanted the land back. Later Young Fortainbras decided to help Hamlet get the throne back from Claudius. Eventhough Hamlet did not stayed with the land Claudius had taken young Fortainbras did "For me, with sorrow I embrace my fortune/ I have some rights of memory in this kingdom, / which now to claim my vantage doth invite me."

Hamlet Outside of Denmark, Beyond Time

Freud on Hamlet:

Freud said: "the dream of nakedness(...) when one wishes to escape or hide". This is what is happening to Hamlet. He wants to escape from what he is living  and wants to die; "to be or not to be"(III.1.64). Hamlet is put through many peer preasure of himself, he wants to figure out who murdered his father and he constantly thinks about that, therefore; he is overwelmed with what is happening to him. This is a problem that is constantly in Hamlets mind and if you want to constantly think or dream about it you will always think about it: "The relation of our typical dreams to fairy-tales and other fiction and poetry is neither sporadic nor accidental." (Freud). We can see how this happens to Hamlet when his father`s gohst appears in act 1 scene : "I am thy father`s spirit," (I.5.14). "if anyone wishes to call Hamlet an hysterical subject I cannot but admit that this is the deduction to be drawn from my interpretation" ( Freud) What freud said in this quote is something that I consider very true. Hamlet is hysterical. He is irrational from fear which  makes him hysterical. Through out the play he had an anger, fear towards Claudius, his father`s assasin.

Is Hamlet the real problem of Hamlet?"Hamlet the play is the primary problem, and Hamlet the character only secondary."(T.S.Eliot). In fact he is a problematic character who will not rest until he gets revenge from his father`s murder therefore, he causes a constant tension between the characters, for example when he did the Mousetrap or play: "That`s wormwood!" (III.2.204). In this scene Hamlet wants to figure out if Claudius and Gertrude killed his father. The reaction they had towards the play ended up being relevant to what Hamlet wanted to know. Getrude is a character that has two faces and she summits Hamlets into a lot of preasure "Hamlet is up against the difficulty that his disgust is occasioned by his mother, but that his mother is not an adequate equivalent for it; his disgust envelops and exceeds her" ( T.S. Eliot). We see that she betrayed him in many different ways, for example when she killed Hamlet senior and married Claudius. Also when Hamlet accidentally killed Plonius she wanted to kill her own son.

Hamlet is an optimistic character. We can see that through out the play he is in a soul searching. He wants to find with himself and be satisfied. Since the begining of the story he has the preasure of his father`s gohst that he needs to take revenge of the murderers of his father. One of the actors of Discovering Hamlet (part 1) says "the part is in control of you" and what he might want to say is that Hamlet is such a hard character to interpret because he has so many going in his mind that he is indicicive of what he is doing all the time; he is such a great character that it controls you. In this play every character plays an important role"Shakespear gives each character to touch the audience" (part 3). For example Ophelia was a secondary character and she touched the audience when she is mad after her father`s death.
